Emergency Notifications

The North East Regional Homeland Security Council has launched a new Mass Notification service that allows us to alert you in both emergency and non-emergency situations. To participate, you must "opt-in" by entering your contact information and subscribe to notification(s) you desire based on your location(s). It will be vital for each user to enter and maintain their user profile data with the most up-to-date information to ensure that when notifications are send out that you receive them. The information you provide is protected and will not be used by any other third parties.

Residents are encouraged to register immediately to receive these alerts.

Riley County and the City of Manhattan will use the NE KANSAS Notification system to alert residents about a variety of events, ranging from severe weather, fires, floods and other emergencies, to more routine announcements, such as road closures and water utility maintenance. Messages will be sent to residents on their preferred contact paths—cell phone, SMS (text), home phone, email, fax and more—to ensure real-time access to potentially lifesaving information. Residents listed in the IRIS Notification system will NOT be automatically registered in the new system, but Everbridge allows citizens to OPT-In or self-register, provide additional contact information, and/or opt out as needed.
